Chapter 927 – Day 104 – The Easiest Way to Fill in the Missing Numbers
“If it weren’t for Mr. Ceres, something huge would have happened.”
Hestia, who was standing a little away behind Ceres, who was standing in front of a huge wall, looked at the princess standing next to her and spoke.
The princess and her party, who had escaped from a room filled with various magical mechanical devices of the demon race, had just found an entrance that could lead them down deeper into the underground facility.
Since it was a half-hidden space, someone was needed to open the door, and Ceres was now taking on that trouble.
“It’s so different from the demonic facilities I’ve experienced so far that I’m a little embarrassed.”
As soon as the princess saw the door, she called Friday, the AI who was probably managing this underground facility, but there was no answer.
“This is a place that Eternity has been using for a long time. It looks like Friday has been removed.”
“Can you get rid of that fairy?”
“It’s not impossible. It’s very annoying and there’s no need for it, but there’s a reason why it’s done.”
Ceres, speaking calmly, was gently scraping the wall with a small knife. He grabbed something and tore it off, very carefully cutting the bright red thread and causing sparks in the blue thread.
“He is good at human technology and knows all about demon technology… Mr. Ceres is literally an all-rounder.”
“Hehe, Ceres is quite an amazing maid.”
“At first, I sighed when I found out that Crown Princess Venus’s maid was a commoner, but I naturally sympathized with her saying that all she had to do was be exceptionally skilled.”
Hestia smiled her warm smile and looked down at the embarrassing armor she was wearing.
“On the other hand, I don’t know if it’s really helpful. I just wore these obscene clothes…”
“What are you talking about? When you came down to this underground facility, wasn’t it you who boasted of your swordsmanship skills against the demons guarding this place?”
“If you have this armor that can draw out superhuman strength, it would be possible for you, Hedone.”
Seeing Hedone, who seemed to be far from her swordsmanship, making an example of her, the princess raised the corner of her mouth and snapped! She hit Hestia’s chest with her palm.
“Ugh…!”
“After visiting the pantheon where the gods live, I realized something. No matter how strong the power is, it is meaningless if the person using it is not good.”
“Crown Princess Venus…”
“No matter how powerful the armor is, if it is not used by a skillful knight like you, it is as dangerous as a newborn holding a sword. Bring pride.”
“… I will feel proud after at least putting on a skirt that covers the curves of my pussy.”
At Hestia’s joke, the princess held her stomach and laughed out loud as if playing a joke.
“Princess, it is finished. Please go inside.”
As soon as Ceres spoke, extinguishing the faint flame created on her gloves, the space that seemed like an ordinary wall opened to the left and right, revealing a staircase to go down.
“… It smells clean.”
Hestia spoke her words as she went down the stairs, beyond the wide open wall.
“Clean…? Ha, ho… I smelled it, and it really felt like a clean scent that was created on purpose.”
“It looks like they are paying attention to disinfection. There may be sisters working, so please be relaxed.”
Ceres carefully climbs down the stairs first, pointing forward with the scythe he created in the dark.
Hestia and the princess followed, and the group was soon able to reach the end of the underground facility.
At the end of the stairs there was a wide open door.
“What on earth is this…”
The princess, who led Ceres through the huge gate, blinked at the sight she saw for the first time in her life.
It was an overwhelming sight to see a huge place with an enormous height unfolding before her eyes, but the first thing that caught her eye was the mural painted on the high wall.
“It’s the first time I’ve seen a drawing in this style. I don’t remember any other species drawing drawings like this.”
A woman with pale skin and pure white hair with huge wings made of steel. She was beautifully depicted in a very heterogeneous picture, with countless people bowing down and praying.
Because it was a painting that exuded a strangely strong spirit, the princess gazed at it in fascination for a moment.
‘The girl depicted on this wall… I feel like I’ve seen it somewhere before.’
She was a princess who gave me a strange sense of déjà vu, but I couldn’t say who she was exactly.
“Ah, Crown Princess Venus! Look over there.”
At the place Hestia pointed to with her urgent voice, there were endless transparent ‘glass containers’ that seemed to fit an adult woman in.
“I guess I’ll have to take a closer look.”
An ominous feeling.
Restraining herself from screaming in disgust, the princess hurriedly climbed the stairs and went deeper down, heading towards the wall where there were endless rows of huge barrels.
‘If this space is shaped like an elongated rectangle, then this side… It would be about the western side of the road.’
Because it was such a huge space, the princess approached the barrel in front of her, looking around to avoid forgetting where she was standing.
“Is this something modeled after a human womb?”
The long container in front of the princess was filled with a slightly opaque, green liquid.
There was a long string on the lid of the barrel, and the string was clearly connected to the stomach of the ‘woman’ inside the barrel.
‘No matter where you look, it’s not a newborn baby, but she’s curled up, hugging her knees with both hands.’
She said that there was a demon floating in the barrel that didn’t look much different from the demon she had just killed.
The princess was at a loss for words at this strange scenery.
“… I’m just joking. Are all demons born in glass containers that don’t feel any warmth?”
“No. Needless to say, it’s a misunderstanding. I, too, have never seen a sister born like this in my life.”
Because it was Ceres’ words and not anyone else’s, the princess covered her mouth with her hand.
‘Didn’t Ceres tell me this was a forge? Yes, this is definitely creating an object, not life.’
When the princess turned her head, she began to look like she was really a newborn, and entities that looked like children and girls were floating in the container.
“The demons here…”
─Boo!
Just as the princess was about to say something, her steel arm suddenly appeared from the sky and snatched the glass container that the princess was looking at.
“The princess!”
“Don’t worry about me! Let’s follow that arm first!”
She pointed her finger at her arm and screamed because she was the princess who needed to know exactly what was going on here.
The princess followed her steel arm, making sure that Ceres and Hestia were following her, and where her arm stopped, there were various complicated-looking devices.
“This… Isn’t it really a blacksmith’s shop?”
With a clanking sound, the steel arm pushes the glass container held in her hand into a large groove.
The liquid filling the container was seen being sucked somewhere and disappearing, and other small arms appeared and opened the lid of the glass container
“Yes, dear…! Yes… Ugh… Dear…!”
The child born in the glass barrel cried sadly.
A young yet mature being who seemed to have no problem even if I said that he was a senior at the Academy was crying like a newborn baby.
Either way, the emotionless steel arm grabbed the demon’s armpit, lifted it like an object, and laid the demon down in a space that looked like a “Bread mold.”
─Cheolkeok
The moment the demon was laid down in a bread mold that accurately resembled a human being, its arms and legs were restrained from moving and a pitch-black helmet was placed on its head.
“… It appears to be a device for downloading knowledge.”
“Does Ceres know this?”
“No. This is my first time seeing this device, but I have seen it used in a project called ‘Seven Sisters.'”
The moment the princess heard the words ‘seven sisters,’ someone immediately came to mind.
─Slam!
“The Crown Princess! Look at the woman here!”
Before the princess could gather her thoughts, Hestia screamed as she saw her demon, which had been placed on her bread pan a while ago, being grabbed and lifted by another steel arm.
“Tsk! They might be using it as Eternity’s soldiers, so let’s follow them!!”
When the princess looked at the ceiling while speaking, there were steel arms that seemed meaningless to count.
‘Is this a factory? Isn’t everything so automated that the pride Diana showed me about Colonia seems like a child’s play?!’
It creates life automatically, injects it with the knowledge to kill people, turns them into soldiers and uses them as weapons.
The princess felt unpleasant disgust deep in her heart and ran out to what appeared to be the final space.
─Jjiii Iik. Wow! Ji profit! Slam!
Several small arms were attached to the ‘demon’ body floating in the air by her steel arms, and she began to wear pure white armor.
She even planted something with a barcode on her empty stomach.
“Ceres! What is that girl over there? Why is she going up there instead of coming down this way?”
“I don’t know, but there’s a reason why they’re classified like that in automated spaces. That means they can’t be used as soldiers.”
“If you can’t use a bird’s life for what you want… Department, classification? No, if you can’t use it as a soldier…”
The embarrassed princess swallows her saliva and turns her head to the side.
There were ‘demons’ wearing armor sleeping on the beds that filled the room.
On the wall, the large letters ’95/100′ were glowing red.
“Haha~ It looks like you’re really curious. I wonder what happens to the clones who went up there~”
Ttogak.
A demon appeared with a raised voice.
With her heart-shaped tail gently wagging, she was wearing armor that clearly revealed her body, looking almost similar to the one worn by Hestia, which was completely different from the demons lying around.
In her right hand, she was holding a staff with a heart-shaped jewel embedded in it, and the princess knew very well who this demon was.
“Huh…! Hestia! Ceres! Be careful! It looks like it’s Asmodeus, one of the seven sisters.”
“Hahang, you remember me correctly! I’m glad, God of the New Era!”
Asmodeus clapped his hands holding his staff and continued speaking with the corners of his mouth twitching.
“Then~! Asmo will serve you here!”
“If you’re going to make petty puns, stop!”
“The clones that go up there become mothers. Mom!! Sometimes there are children with really excellent talents~”
“Uh, mom…?”
“Yes, yes, yes! The monster that Mamon really likes! These are children with great talent who can possess fearsome monsters! They are the perfect children to call mom!”
Asmodeus, the seven sisters who speak while radiating sparkling energy.
The princess couldn’t help but be truly embarrassed by the words she spat out.
“Are you saying that you are ordering the life you created as you please to do such a terrible thing as giving birth to a monster?”
Country in the east. Great Plains. It was the princess who learned how the monsters that poured out of the place were born just before it fell.
